Features that make up the bony part of the nose
Nasal bonesFrontal process of maxillaNasal part of frontal bone and nasal spineBony part of nasal septum
Cartilagenous part of nose
2 lateral cartilages2 alar cartilagesSeptal cartilage (nasal septum)
All of the nasal cavity is lined with nasal mucosa except _____
vestibule of nose (considered an external portion)
Nasal mucosa is firmly connected to the ____ of the bony parts of the nasal cavity and the ____ of the cartilagenous nasal components
periosteumperichondrium
The areas lined with nasal mucosa constitute the ____ and the _____
respiratory area (inferior 2/3)olfactory area (superior 1/3)
The olfactory area has specialized nasal mucosa that contains the peripheral nerve endings from the ____ nerve for ____ ____ ____

Boundaries of the nasal cavityRoofFloorMedial wallLateral wall
Roof: frontal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid boneFloor: palatine process of maxilla, horizontal plate of palatine boneMedial wall: nasal septum (perpendicular plate of ethmoid, vomer, septal cartilage, nasal crest of maxillary and palatine bones)Lateral wall: superior, middle and inferior nasal conchae
Nasal conchae: What are the four passages that the nasal cavity can be divided into?
- Spheno-ethmoidal recess2. superior nasal meatus3. middle nasal meatus4. inferior nasal meatus
Where does the sphenoehtmoidal recess drain into?
opening of sphenoid sinus
where does the superior nasal meatus drain into?
openings of ethmoidal sinus
Where does the middle nasal meatus drain into?
opening of frontal sinusmaxillary sinus also opens into middle nasal meatus in posterior part of semilunar hiatus at the maxillary ostium (below ethmoid bulla)
Where does the inferior nasal meatus drain into?
opening of nasolacrimal duct
What is the arterial supply to the nasal cavity?
Most blood is supplied to lateral and medial walls of nasal cavity from branches of the maxillary artery (spenopalatine a, anterior and posterior ethmoidal a, greater palatine a) BUT also from the facial artery (superior labial a, lateral nasal branches)
What is the venous drainage from the nasal cavity?
venous drainageto spenopalatine, facial and opthalmic veins
What is the kiesselbach area?
It is the region where all five arteries come together in a capillary bed that can bleed profusely
What is the kiesselbach area?
It is the region where all five arteries (spenopalatine a, anterior & posterior ethmoidal a, greater palatine a, superior labial a, lateral nasal branches) come together in a capillary bed that can bleed profusely
